QANTAS has opened its flagship Regional Lounge in Mackay.

The launch coincided with the recent arrival of Boeing 717 services between Mackay and Brisbane.

QantasLink chief commercial officer Stephen Limbrick said Qantas was pleased to provide eligible Qantas customers with an expanded new lounge space inspired by the Qantas Club Lounge offering throughout Australia.

"The Mackay Qantas Regional Lounge provides a comfortable and contemporary lounge space where customers can relax, refresh and work prior to their QantasLink flight," Mr Limbrick said.

"The lounge features seating for 91 guests, an enhanced food offering including a comprehensive breakfast selection and signature artwork representing the region."

Qantas Regional Lounges are available to Platinum and Gold Qantas Frequent Flyers and Qantas Club members.

On Monday QantasLink also welcomed its first commercial B717 services between Brisbane and Mackay.

"QantasLink's new 115-seat B717 services offer customers faster flight times and more seats at peak times by complementing existing aircraft on these routes," Mr Limbrick said.

Overall the B717 services will add an extra 806 seats on QantasLink services, increasing seats offered by the Qantas Group between Brisbane and Mackay to 13,884 a week (operated by both Jetstar and QantasLink).
